Home away from Home

The Gardenia House was warm, welcoming, and well appointed. We took full advantage of the shopping and entertainment just a stone’s throw away at Lake Sumter Landing. We look forward to staying there again in the Spring!

We are grateful for the opportunity to stay in such a comfortable home that also let us bring our beloved pup, Chico. There is not one thing that was not thought of when preparing for our arrival. Communication with the property manager was fluid and friendly. I can highly recommend staying at this property.

Beautiful home! We felt right at home. Plenty of space and very clean.

We visited my in-laws who live in the Villages. Our kids, their partners, my mom, aunt, uncles, all were visiting. This house was our central meeting place. It was a wonderful trip. We hope to rent this house again!

Our family enjoyed this beautiful home while in town for Mom’s 80th birthday. Quiet, close to everything with lots of spaces to gather. Clean and with all the amenities we needed. Lots of extra towels, games, drink ware. Wish we could have stayed a month and dug into the library !

House that had everything

When we arrived at Gardenia House we were greeted with wonderful details about the area and home. It was extremely clean and lots of space. we got to enjoy the outdoor space for a limited time due to the weather. Next trip we hope to be able to utilize the amazing space more. This owner did not skimp on any detail or leave anything out of the home. Thanks for allowing us a great space to be close to family for our Dad’s 80th birthday. This home has lots of space and would definitely stay again! The extra touch of the care package was a nice surprise. Thanks again!
